My family is difficult and uncooperative. I have plans all worked out to go to Massachussets and it's dnot ifficult. I plan it around other peoples schedules so I can still visit with relatives coming up for Thanksgiving the night before, even though I don't really like any of my relatives that are coming then. All I'm doing is leaving after school, staying the night, and then coming back the following evening. I figured I'd make my parents happy and make sure I got to visit with them and my extended family as much as I can bear, but now they want me to be home all day so I can welcome my uncle, aunt and cousin. They don't even know when they're getting here, just that it's going to be "after lunch time" Fuck that, I don't like them and it's not my responsiblity to see them in the door and then sit around with them for 4 hours. I don't say this but try to work around the problem. I ask my sister if she'll be free that day, she says yes so I ask if she'll cover me for this and she flipped out. "I don't live here anymore, that's not my responsibilty, stop being so selfish, I don't want to sit around all day, this is the first day I'll have off in forever (it is the first day off in a few days) etc. etc. I had plans to go down to Palisades, they're not happening now, but I don't want to." And then before she even finishes my mom starts screaming about how she never said I could go and that she wants more details. I clench my fists and stop myself from telling her to shut the fuck up. She knows she's just being dumb and that I can give her all the details in the world and it wouldn't make a difference, she'd still whine and bitch. I tell her where I'm going, leave my cell phone on, and that's how it goes. That's how my family works, I pay for the stupid cell phone just for that reason. She knows I'm not going out to drink, do drugs, have sex or anything of that nature, she just wants to bitch. Soooo, my sisters a selfish whore, nothing new there, I shouldn't have expected much more from her, and my mom's obnoxious... So I figure I'll see if it would be an inconvinience to my Uncle if he were to come later. Not asking much, just seeing what is possible. My mom then flips out saying that that would be tacky and that I can't do that. Well you know what's fucking stupid, assuming that I am automatically able to sit around the house all day while I wait to see people I don't enjoy being around. How about some communication and ask me what I'm doing, so you can plan something out. I wouldn't get so pissed off about this if my family even tried to work things out, but they refuse to communicate, they'd rather just say no. Well fuck them. I'm trying to figure out something that will work for everyone and they won't hear of it.
